I have had many different experiences with different mental health therapies. Within CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) is something called Mindfulness. By far it has been the most helpful method for retraining my mind.

Life as a sandwich generation x’er, stacked with irony. As a ‘normal’ person peering out from the boundaries of suburbia, as a transplant from another state, maybe another planet. As a mother of teenage boys and freelance working writer balancing parenting with helping to care for my mother. And now as an only child of a mother with Alzheimer’s (which sucks).
